A Limpopo mother who went out at night, leaving her three children at home alone, returned in the morning to find one of them murdered and his body wrapped in a blanket.
The victim was found in a pool of blood wrapped in a blanket, having an open wound on his neck.
Limpopo police spokesperson Col Malesela Ledwaba said officers were summoned to the scene at Mapuve village in Giyani on Sunday. On their arrival, they found a mother who pointed out the room where her 11-year-old son was found dead, Ledwaba said.
